Drama Training Camp

Chapter 38: Honest Man (Seven)

Four bags of unknown items were brought up.

“I’m going to throw a torch, get down!” Ye Xijin shouted.

The black powder all over the sky rose, Ye Xijin threw the torch directly into the Tartar group.

The huge explosion sounded, everyone was instructed in advance, and immediately fell down. A piece of flying sand fell on his head and his face covered. He straightened up and looked down from the city tower. He saw a large group of people fell in the middle of the Tartar, and the unrecognizable corpses were lying there.

Powder explosion. Combustible dust is in contact with the air in a large area, and it can explode when encountering an open flame.

This was originally a passage that Ye Xijin read in a book, but he did not expect it to be of great use at this time. Now that the gunpowder has not been successfully deployed on a large scale, Ye Xijin did not want to expose the secret weapon so quickly.

Compared with powder explosion, the word that modern people often hear is flour explosion, but in fact, not only flour will explode, but many other powders can be used. The cost of flour as food is too high. Ye Xijin used ground low-quality toner here, so all his cronies were caught in the black.

“The devil is here!” The Tartars shouted in the prairie language.

Ye Xijin has always been self-taught in the language of the grasslands, so she understood this, and immediately laughed, shouting to the Tartars below in the language of the grasslands: “Quickly retreat, this is the Changshengtian’s cruel punishment to you!”

The Tartar general Zhamu took a deep look at Ye Xijin. He originally wanted to call the soldiers to go forward, but these people were full of fear, and they were not there. The traces retreated, and one of the soldiers shouted in fear: “General, we can’t go any more… This is the punishment of Changshengtian…”

“The official of the Xi Dynasty, this will be Zhamu under the throne of Hanhai, what is your name?” Zhamu asked.

“Ye Xijin.”

“I will remember you.” After Zhamu finished speaking, he turned around and left, he was not a fool, the soldiers were fooled by ignorance, but he didn’t, he was in awe of immortality, but not stupid , Changshengtian protects the grassland people, how can it stop its people.

Seeing the Tartars withdraw their troops, the towers immediately cheered.

“Master Ye is mighty, lead us to repel the Tartars!” Cheng Tang shouted and knelt down.

The soldiers on the city gate also knelt down with hula la.

The people who were running in a panic heard the sound and fell to their knees.

Ye Xijin stood on the tower, looking at the low crowd, and her heart was filled with pride.

“Reinforce the city walls, recruit militiamen, and recover the four counties of Pengzhang, Yushu, Jinyun, and Tonghua, and drive the Tartars out of Baiyi Prefecture!” Ye Xijin shouted.

“Follow your orders!” the soldiers shouted in unison.

Wang guard fled, and left with his trusted escorts. The soldiers in the guard camp scattered and fled, and now there are only five hundred people left in the guard camp.

These people simply did not take away all the weapons and armor. Ye Xijin recruited another 500 people from the common people, and urgently assembled a team of 1,000 people. First, they used materials to reinforce the city wall. Fan, and then began to check the remaining supplies of the government office.

Fortunately, the prefects of Meifu were in a hurry and did not have time to deal with the warehouse. The silver in the treasury was still there, and the grain depot was not passive. Although it was old rice, there was no mildew or insects. . Ye Xijin has sent more staff near the grain depot. Most of the grain in this grain depot is originally the salaries of the guard battalion. Now that the battalion guards are fewer, the grain has increased, which is enough to support the guard battalion for a long time.

“Master, if the prefect and the guards come back, what should I do?” Cheng Liang was wearing a military general’s uniform that did not fit well, with a little hesitation on his face.

Not as clever as Cheng Tang, Cheng Liang is more upright, Cheng Tang has long seen the current situation, and Cheng Liang, the elder brother, is still a muscle.

“They won’t come back.” Ye Xijin said.

Cheng Liang was puzzled.

“Abandoning the city and fleeing, ignoring the people of the whole government, only for the safety of the family, so useless, they are not worthy of being the prefect of the government, their behavior is a capital crime, even if I don’t kill them, they will live I can’t go anymore.” Ye Xijin explained.

“Master, what will happen if you pretend to be the officer?” Cheng Liang looked at Ye Xijin worriedly.

Ye Xijin smiled and said, “According to the “Daxi Law”, the crime is unforgivable.

Cheng Liang’s face changed greatly, and he said, “Then master, let’s escape with the old lady. Even if our brothers die, we will send the adults and the old lady away safely.”

Seeing him say this, Ye Xijin felt relieved, but he didn’t show it on his face, and instead asked: “Escape? Is there a king’s land in the world, unless I go to sea, where else can I escape? go?”

“The sea is also a life-and-death situation, sir, how can this be?” Cheng Liang was so anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.

Ye Xijin was about to cry when he saw the tall man, so he reassured: “Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, maybe bad things can turn into good things, but everything is uncertain.”

Cheng Liang didn’t know what to do, but when Ye Xijin might still have a way to save himself, he persuaded: “This is an expedient measure, maybe the court sees the master for saving Yicheng’s sake, I can let you go.”

What Ye Xi is trying to do now is to let others go, what he wants is more. Ye Xijin is standing on the tower, looking at the direction of the capital, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and I don’t know when the news of the siege of Baiyi House will be spread, and his cheap lady, I don’t know what’s going on now, whether he has sent more. He has several green hats.

Within ten days, the Tartars attacked Baiyi City four more times, all of which were defeated. Because of Ye Xi’s preparations this morning, they not only did not take half a cent of the advantage, but ate a Big loss.

After going back and forth, Ye Xijin also probably knew about the situation in Tartar. The largest tribe on the grassland, the Zhebei tribe, has now united with the various tribes on the grassland. He was elected as the Khan of the Prairie, known as the Khan of Kutulu.

The prairie people have a big plan this time. It is not a single-line battle. Under the leadership of the Zhebei, they attack the cities in the northwest border together. Due to the neglect of defense for many years, the iron cavalry of the Tartars drove straight in, and at this time they had already reached twelve cities.

Khutulu Khan saw that Baiyi City was difficult to attack, so he stopped chewing on this hard bone, bypassed Baiyi City directly, and concentrated his forces in the direction of the Central Plains.

Suddenly, the northwest fell, and the news came back to the capital. The emperor who had found a new place outside the palace and wanted to linger, rushed out of the beauty’s nest. After returning to the palace, he immediately announced an decree and sent more troops to recover the lost land. However, because the dynasty has been singing and dancing for many years, there was no suitable general for a while, and a voice gradually emerged among the civil servants: Since the grassland people have no rations, they might as well send some rations to the Tartars.

When the 30-year-old emperor heard this, he was furious and angry. He demoted three civil servants in a row in the courtroom.

Ye Xijin was not idle either. He formed his own army and trained a strict army in accordance with strict militarized management. It took three days to recover the original The four counties occupied by the Tartars, the rectification staff, within a month, Ye Xijin has transformed from a nine-rank classic history to the leader of the entire Baiyi Prefecture.

Originally there were only 500 guard camps left, but Ye Xijin kept recruiting people. With the help of Huayi people, all the ethnic minorities responded one after another. Now Ye Xijin has a team of five An army made up of thousands of people of various ethnic groups.

The four counties have long been looted by the Tartars. Ye Xi Jinben was worried that the filtering equipment at the salt mine would be learned by the Tartars, but he sent someone to take a look. There is no shortage of food for workers.

Ye Xijin couldn’t help but feel fortunate in her heart that she was on guard against the Tartars early in the morning, so whether it was the textile factory or the salt mine, the sweaters or salt produced that day had to be transferred to a special warehouse.

The warehouse is hidden and guarded by special personnel, but fortunately it has not been exposed.

It only suffered the people of the four counties.

At the time of the rescue, the inside and outside should be combined, and the Tartars who were defending the city were taken down in one fell swoop.

In the entire northwestern region, except for the Baiyi Prefecture, which has all fallen, Baiyi Prefecture has become an isolated island.

Mei Zhifu, Wang Shouwei and others, who had escaped from the city, fled Baiyifu not long ago and just arrived in the next city when the Tartars attacked. Became the key target, the Tartar army was red-eyed, and the two families were all dead.

The rest of the city can also find the rations that the Tartars did not take away.

What Ye Xijin needs to worry about is whether he can raise an army of 5,000 people with the grain stocks of Baiyi Prefecture alone. , but to organize the soldiers to plant the land. At this time, it is the time of spring ploughing. What Ye Xijin wants is not temporary gas, but long-term development.

After the spring ploughing was completed, Ye Xijin began to train his troops and attacked the surrounding cities to regain lost ground.

, at this time as the left and right generals, and Ye Xijin himself as the coach.

Compared to the blind obedience of the Cheng brothers to Ye Xijin, the warrior team is not a fool, they know what they are doing at this time, but the situation is stronger than people, and men are naturally keen on power, so there is no One person rejects the new position offered by Ye Xijin.

The Tartars are good at offense but not good at defense, Ye Xijin’s army is like a broken bamboo, subduing five cities in ten days, leaving part of the army, plus the militia selected from the common people, according to Ye Xijin’s method of governing the army , to form a new guard camp in the city.

In late June, the army of the Tartars finally reached the gate of the capital.

In four months, the Tartars drove straight in, and the imperial army faced the steppe defeat of the prairie cavalry. Couldn’t find a single enemy.

Originally, the court and the opposition did not dare to ask for peace. With the deepening of the grassland iron cavalry, the courtiers quarreled every day about how to beg the grassland people for mercy, but the grassland people are now fighting on both sides, and the arrow is on the string. They will meet Ye Xijin. The prairie people have already seen the power of gunpowder, so they can only go all the way to Hei and directly into the capital.

Just when the emperor was about to abandon the city and flee, what Ye Xijin did in the enemy’s rear finally spread to the emperor’s desk.
